Pittsburgh Penguins Betting Analysis

This season, the Pittsburgh Penguins have been a slightly above-average team, ranking 14th in the NHL (26-17-9 for 61 points). Through mid-December, they were solid, going 18-8-4, but since then, they’ve limped to a pedestrian 8-9-5 record in their last 22 contests. In the first two tilts in California, they dispatched the Ducks 6-3, but then fell flat on their face 6-0 to the Kings.

For the campaign, the Pens are 14th in scoring, 18th in goals allowed, 17th on the PP, and 12th on the PK, displaying why they’re a middling franchise. They’re also a far better home squad, going 15-6-4, compared to 11-11-5 away from home. Pittsburgh has dropped five of their last six games on the road (1-2-3).

San Jose Sharks Betting Analysis

There’s no other way to slice it – the San Jose Sharks have been a dumpster fire this season. They’re playing their first game on home ice in their last nine, having gone 3-3-2 on their road trip. You’d think that playing in the friendly confines would be helpful for them, but the Sharks are actually a disastrous 5-12-7 in San Jose (compared to 12-14-4 on the road).

The Sharks are 20th in scoring and 21st on the PP. They’re also fourth worst in keeping pucks out of their own net – here’s the weird stat though, San Jose has the fourth-best penalty kill.
